Volunteers Needed For Upcoming Cleanup
The next neighborhood “Project Clean Move’ cleanup is scheduled for Saturday, June 28. In order for Oregon Hill to be included as one of the neighborhoods, it needs to recruit at least four community volunteers, at least one of whom would be the project manager. The project manager provides direction on the starting point, route and directs other volunteers. Resident volunteers know where the “stuff” is.
The City’s Department of Public Works needs to know by Thursday, June 26 at 9 AM whether its truck will be there or not. The truck is scheduled from 8-12 but Oregon Hill’s truck’s arrival time depends on whether Randolph is participating.
Clean City Commission and VCU are the principle organizers for ‘Project Clean Move’ and they would like it to become an annual occurrence–one that the communities will find beneficial and worthy of owning as a community effort. If there are not volunteers for this Saturday, Oregon Hill can hopefully join other neighborhoods surrounding VCU on August 2 for what may be the biggest one yet with respect to the amount of trash in the alleys.
If you can volunteer, please get in touch before Wednesday evening. You can also sign up at the Oregon Hill Neighborhood Association meeting this Tuesday evening at 7 pm at the William Byrd Community House.
InLight Festival Coming To Monroe Park In November
“Organized by 1708 Gallery, InLight Richmond is a public exhibition of light-based art and performances. Each year, InLight Richmond invites artists to respond to a particular section of our diverse city, attracting audiences to unique areas of Richmond. Over 6 years, 1708’s InLight has featured 169 local, national and international artists and artist collectives across some of Richmond’s most unique neighborhoods and sites, from Broad Street to historic Tredegar to the Riverfront Canal Walk, and has engaged over 25,000 visitors.
“Through InLight, 1708 has created an on-going opportunity for Richmond to experience the city in unexpected and surprising ways. The selection of Monroe Park, one of the oldest public spaces in Richmond, continues this tradition of highlighting the histories and imagining the futures of Richmond’s most well-known spaces.”
This comes after recent news of the sentencing of a Monroe Park drug dealer.
